Summary: Ah Wang is a thirty-year-old man with an IQ of a little boy. However, he seems to finds ways to make everyone around him happy. When Ah Wang was in school, nobody wanted to play with him because they thought he was stupid, but Qi Feng accepted him. Ah Wang remembered playing "jia jia jiu" with her. He would always play the father and she would play the mother. Thus, the name "Lao Po Zai"/"Xiao Xi Fer" was born!
Many years had passed, the 2 of them are still very close. Feng used Ah Wang's golden coins to pay her school fees and left for US to complete her studies.
Feng met An Qi in US and happened to go to the same company Jone's Intl for interview. Feng met Zi Cong, who was frequently rumoured to date stars and was known to be a playboy. On the other hand, An Qi liked Zi Cong and tried to sarbotage Feng, but this did not stop Zi Cong from falling for Feng. Ah Wang later got a job in Jone's with the help of the chairmain of Jone's, without knowing Zi Cong's dad, Zhong Jin Rong, was actually his own dad too. During an incident, Ah Wang was shot by a bullet and had to do a brain operation. Feng decided to marry him so that he would have the spirit to fight on. Finally, Ah Wang's wish came true by marrying Feng, but life didnt go easy on him. Qu Cheng also fell for Feng while Feng decided to give a shot for her career by working overseas. Ah Wang created a "Lao Po Tang Wan" to remember Feng and carved out his career. Feng finally gave him a call...
Comments: Let's forget about "Square Pegs", then u will not be that disappointed la. Anyway, there's no links between the 2 also. Plot wise, the first few epis were considered boring to me, coz' it didnt give me the drive to continue watching it. It started to pick up after Feng returned from US ba, and i was kinda rooting for Feng & Zi Cong, but not for long. Plot began to go downhill again when Feng decided to leave Ah Wang & did all those "silly stuffs" to make Wang let go of her. Haiz....i really dont like that part of the drama, Ah Wang was pitiful, though he's quite a nuisance at times. So overall, you must have the patience to view the lousy parts first before watching the happy ones. Lolz!
Acting wise, had to give Roger credits la. Not every actor is suitable or is able to act such a role. Though i dun like his hairstyle, he's really the soul person in the drama. Jessica was alright la, but dunno why she looked kinda old in the drama. Bosco's character was much serious than his usual roles, a good try but I think he's not suitable for such roles la. Thank goodness he accepted Ah Wang towards the end of the drama, or else i may end up disliking Zi Cong lo. Leila Tong's performance was good actually, tho she's not the sweet girl la. My impression of her changed as she could really be quite "evil", tt means gd acting. Hope to see her more often in TVB dramas lo. The other support cast plus Angela Tong did a good job, without them i guessed the drama wld be more boring. Like to see Bro Rui & Ah Lian (Wang's mum) together, funny couple. Hehe!
Ratings: 7.5/10 (If only the plot is better lah, and i hope TVB wont have so many sequels which are super worse than the original ones. )
